A floor plan would be a great help in understanding your situation.

Is your dining space 20-feet high?

My dining room and foyer ceiling are both twenty feet high. The electrical is in to put the chandelier in the foyer and we have four high hats over the dining room area. In addition, the electric is also installed to hang a chandelier in the dining room area. I also planned to put sconces or lamps on the wall over a buffet by the table. I have a second floor mezzanine overlooking the dining area and foyer with eight high hats. There is beautiful curved staircase coming down from the second floor. I posted the floor plan for the first floor. This is new construction from a big developer. I am not able at this point to "remodel!"

I only see one chandelier.

If possible, get a chandelier for each space. Will you be using the dining room often? If so, I would start there and invest the most in that space with a beautiful chandelier. You will most likely need to invest in a motorized lift for your chandelier otherwise it will be very difficult to clean. If however, you don’t use the dining room often, then focus your resources on the entrance foyer.

I really like your idea but I can't envision two chandeliers in this open concept design. Do you know where I can see two chandeliers hanging from these high ceilings adjacent to each other. Would I use different shapes & different heights but work together? We haven't moved in yet, but I do not think we will use the dining room table that often.

Hi, typically when you see two or more chandeliers in an open space, they are all identical similar to these photos below.

Hi, there’s a typo in prior statement. They are typically similar in style.

Close off the DR from the foyer with a large cased opening. There is no way to light this equitably otherwise. Both rooms would be benefit from lower ceilings and having the second floor closed in.

Great idea but we are unable to do it! We like the idea of the open concept.

Like you, I’m not sure about hanging 2 chandeliers so close to each other. And from such high ceilings, I think it would look odd. I would definitely put a chandelier in the dining room and then hang wall sconces on the walls by your front door (hard wired). If you are putting a hall table or chest of drawers by your front door, add a table lamp.

Can you add a window in the master bath? Or is it attached to the next unit?

Can you get a bigger window in bedroom 2?

Unfortunately, no! The bathroom wall is a common wall nor was making the , second bedroom window bigger an option.

Sometimes a line of lighting will have several variations. So a grand version for the foyer and a smaller one for the DR. For example

For DR and

For foyer.

I think your new home (at least the model) is beautiful! Good suggestion from JJ. It seems like the fixture in the model is hung to be viewed from the second story window, which feels not intimate enough for dining.

You may want to reach out to Flo Mangan on this site. She has wonderful designs and would be very helpful.

High hats in a 20’ ceiling are useless lighting IMO you need 2 chandeliers and I would make them the same but different sizes the one in the foyer the smaller one and no matter how high your ceiling the DR fixture needs to hang 30-36 above your table to the bottom of the fixture.I will refrain form making any other comments about layout. What ever fixtures you choose they need to light the human space so down lights for sure and all the lighting needs to be 4000K LEDs

^Patricia nailed it.

I don't understand the placement of the model home chandelier at all unless it was done for dramatic effect rather than following the guidelines of a good lighting plan. What good does it do to have the chandelier so high up?

Looks like Restoration Hardware Modern chandelier.

You’re going to need a whole lot of lamps. I hope there are extra outlets. These rooms will be virtually unusable after dark. The ceiling height ensures a dim barely lit space. Unless you can get some wall sconces added, down low. Only there aren’t enough walls.

The foyer is the real problem. Especially for a home for 55+. It’s a hazard where you can’t see. We need twice the lumens as young eyes as we age. A single pendant is not going to cut it.

I’m not even going to start in on the fact that nothing about it is built as an accessible retirement home. If you ever need a walker or chair, you’re out of luck.

The master bedroom is on the first floor. The upstairs is for our grown children & grandchildren.

We has installed high hats around perimeter of dining area. We also have eight high hat installed on the loft overlooking the foyer $ dining room.

Recessed light from a 20‘ ceiling will add very little light at the person level below, where you need to be able to see the change of height difference in the stairs, or a rug that you could trip over. I would suggest working with a lighting designer. Most good lighting stores have one on staff. Their services are usually free if you purchase products from them. Good luck!
